"Interferometry Summer School"

1999 Program

The Michelson Interferometry Summer School is held at the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena, CA. The Summer School consists of a series of tutorial lectures describing the theory and techniques of optical/infrared long baseline stellar interferometry, from its fundamental principles through to its astrophysical applications, methods of data analysis, and interpretation. These archives are intended primarily for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
